TWO MORE SPOTS AVAILABLE as of Aug.23. Dates are
Sept.1-3,2017
Description: I am keen on
getting a few peeps together to
go explore the Mt Fay area. Access to the Neil
Colgan Hut requires
climbing the 5.7 Perren Route with heavy packs.
Plan is to meet in Lake Louise Thursday evening,
spend the night there and leave early Friday
morning to climb to the hut, lighten our packs
and see which other peaks we can climb up in
this area. We will return Sunday afternoon via
the Perren
Route.
Objectives will depend on conditions and
preference but include scrambling, alpine ice,
and
alpine rock routes on Mt Fay, Little, Bowlen and
others.
Participants will be pre-screened for rock
climbing and glacier travel experience. Hut
fees will
cost $30 per person + $5 Admin fee (payable to
the Treasurer) plus $9.80 per night backcountry
wilderness pass (arranged and paid by the
participant, if needed).
Required Items to Bring:
Sleeping bag, food, alpine climbing gear

*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
